review 1: What a beautiful book! I have to admit that when I read a book, one of two things HAVE to happen in order for me to love it. 1 - I have to fall in love with a character or two, OR 2 - I have to gather good truths for my life. And with this one, both happened.This book is the true story about how 2 men become friends - 2 very unlikely friends. I lived in Louisiana as a child and I just cannot fathom how this sharecropping could have taken place in a fairly modern world. My heart just went out to Denver immediately upon starting the book. And the more I read about him, the more I loved him. Who couldn't benefit from such a God-loving, loyal and strong friend. I gained so much from his faith, experience and wisdom, I am very glad I was introduced to this book. Now, there wer... moree three things I was able to learn from this book, all are such important lessons.1 - I learned to LOVE everyone, but even the hard people. Denver's experience in caring for the man who treated him terribly was very moving. And his persistant love led to a wonderful missionary experience.2 - When the Lord sends you an idea, and it's a positive thing - DO IT! You never know what wonderful treasures await from following through on those good ideas the Lord plants in our hearts and minds.3 - Be grateful for every single day!And, there were plenty more inspiring ideas and thoughts in this book, but those were the more influential ones in my life. I am grateful to have read about the experiences shared between these faithful, loving individuals and I hope that I can be able to live my life in such a way that I can learn something from anyone and everyone with whome I come in contact.
review 2: I love when I read a book and I feel like I gained something from reading it. This book was one of those books. I felt the challenge to reach out to others and never judge anyone. We don't always know a persons' life story and why they are in certain situations. Many people serve others for the appearance of what they are doing, but when you serve sincerely, not only are those blessed that you serve, but you can be blessed and changed beyond measure, also. I lost my mother at a young age and it was interesting to gain a glimpse of some of the feelings that my parents had as they went through their trial of cancer and death. The only reason why I gave it a four star was because I got a migraine from crying so much :( less
